Another Recipe: Chicken-Spinach White Pizza

My tastebuds delighted in this recent invention. I hope you enjoy it too.

Chicken-Spinach White Pizza

Toppings:
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 chicken breast, cut into 1/2" pieces
1/2 red onion, sliced
2-3 large handfuls (maybe 5 oz?) fresh spinach

White sauce:
1 cup boiling water, more as needed
8 oz cream cheese, more as needed
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, more as needed

Dough for 1 pizza, or premade pizza crust

In a large skillet, saute the chicken and onion in oil over medium heat until chicken is cooked through and onion is quite soft. Add spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until spinach starts to wilt--probably less than a minute. Remove skillet from heat and remove chicken mixture to a separate bowl.

Return the skillet to the heat and add the cup of boiling water, scraping the brown crusties from the chicken and onions off the bottom of the skillet with a flat-sided spatula (a wooden one works great). Add in the cream cheese and stir to dissolve it in the water. Turn the heat down to low, and add in the Parmesan cheese--stirring to melt it in. As this cooks down into a semi-smooth sauce, add more water to make it thinner, more cream cheese to make it thicker, or if you feel like you need more sauce than that. (*Confession--I did not measure any of this stuff; I'm just guessing on amounts)

Spread cream cheese sauce on prepared dough, put on chicken-onion-spinach mixture as the topping. Bake at whatever temperature and time is appropriate for your pizza dough, until dough is cooked and chicken/onions/sauce are hot! (My dough recipe calls for prebaking just the dough for about 10 minutes at 425 degrees, then adding the toppings and baking another 10-15 minutes or so.)
